When I got my latest stamp set, I immediately wanted to make a cupcake out of it. The base is actually a flower pot, the top part of the cupcake is actually ice cream, the candles are made with stems and leaves and have a touch of glitter glue. (or more accurately, a glob of glitter glue) I used my paper trimmer and stylus to emboss the frame around it, and then sanded the paper down. Love cardstock with white core, you can actually see when you're distressing! Everything is from CTMH except the glitter glue, that came from the $ spot at Joann's.
